    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I play this deck on MODO still, occasionally. I have gone back to the list that BC posted almost a decade ago. I've found it is the most consistent for me (lol), but still is not very consistent....

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    The problem with any variation of this deck currently,is the amount of blue decks that are running around. As much as we want to pretend otherwise, miracles, shardless, and delver are not favorable...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I can't stress this enough. Almost everyone of my losses in a tournament I can pin on myself, just some small misplay like not cracking my second LED to IT chain, so in response to tendrils for...

    @Namida

    I'm really glad for you that you realized all those things. Playing a lot of games with SI in general you will hit a threshold, where after you hit it playing the deck becomes second...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I don't think this card makes the cut because it's mana intensive. The only use for it I see is fetching Arbor for G, but that seems like such a waste of slots for such a narrow purpose.

    And when...

    Speak English?



    And playing this deck without either Vine Dryad or Skyshroud Cutter is not a good choice. You need a free green creature and here is why. If at any point during your turn you...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Ya, I have. It's a lot faster, but force hurts it more. I'm putting this deck down for a bit because survival is gone, which means Force of Will will show up more, and only a crazy person would...

    I'm gonna put this out there, Eternal Witness is the nuts. GG is not difficult to achieve in a deck that runs 4 Elvish Spirit Guide, 4 Lotus Petal, 4 Summoner's Pact and 4 Manamorphose. Here are...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Thoughtseize is definitely better than duress in the board, it improves merfolk (lessens their clock), gets random creatures (your trinket mage scenario) and most importantly, can pick off hate bears...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I never wait to cast a draw 4, unless it's some super special circumstance. I don't think it's worth waiting and absorbing damage, because that just limits your next draw4's, and gives them mana to...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I generally don't have a problem pushing the envelope with my list of LGSI, I have a 50-60% turn 1 kill rate with my list, turn 2 it's probably about 70+%. Anyone who says they can reach 70% turn 1...

    I don't get why everyone is hating on Mox Opal. Yes, it's not so great in the pact builds, but in the tall-men builds it's incredible. It's a permanent, non waste-able mana source that taps for B,...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    The biggest mistakes I've made with this deck is not playing it agressively enough. I've lost several times trying to play around mindbreak trap or stifle, and I've learned it's just not worth it. ...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Here is the skeleton of my most recent list, and most likely the list I'm taking to Vestal on the 19th.

    4 Mox Opal
    4 Lotus Petal
    4 Chrome Mox
    4 Land Grant
    1 Bayou

    4 Dark Rirual
    4 Cabal...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Ya, blooms in the board seems like a good idea. I just wouldn't put them MD, because they're best vs control and lackluster vs aggro.

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    I completely agree with the first part of your post. I don't like bloom either because every card in this deck counts, we need to optimize our draw 4's to win now instead of in 4 turns while we're...

    I'm kind of curious how the mox diamond is working out for you, it looks kinda clunky. And you've already addressed the belcher with 4 land point, I don't think belcher should be run unless you're...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Your list is pretty solid, I have a few questions about it though. I'm not such a fan of the Elvish Spirit Guides, if you were to run spirit guides I'd recommend Simian, because then you can add 1-2...

    I was more than happy with my build. I didn't mulligan as aggressively as I normally would because I figured I'd have time vs decks with no disruption, which is definitely the better call. Why mull...

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Against a non blue deck, you want to keep the deck how it is, and just race the hate. The only exception is if you see the zoo deck playing Mindbreak Trap. I lost to that card twice at a tourney,...
